A detached house with annexe potential within a delightful Cotswold village on the edge of the Cotswold Water Park.
This detached house, tucked away in a quiet position within a short distance of the village centre, was built by the vendor and has been a much loved family home for almost 60 years. The plot was formerly the orchard for the neighbouring property and was purchased by the vendor at auction in 1965; over the years it has been well maintained and the gardens have been beautifully landscaped by the vendors themselves it's a very special home in a lovely setting.
Internally the property is somewhat dated and offers fantastic potential for improvement and modernisation. Much of the interior is original from when the house was built, and there are some lovely character features such as a wood burning stove in the sitting room, parquet flooring in the entrance hall and sitting room, and chequerboard' tiled flooring in the kitchen.
The house feels bright and airy, with tall windows and high ceilings offering excellent natural light. There's a sitting room leading to a conservatory, a study which would also make a great snug or playroom, a cloakroom with WC and an open plan kitchen and dining room with triple aspect and an adjoining utility room. Upstairs there are three good-size double bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate WC.
